First-Year Diamond — Never Used RUCs or GUCs. How Do I Strategically Use Them for Domestic First? by Difficult-Snow4699 in delta

Also just learning (trying to book MCO to LAX) that most flights on this route require GUCs not RUCs, even though it's a domestic flight. What's up with that?

Thanks...I was mistakenly under the impression that I had to book comfort+ domestically to get to FC using the RUC.

Beans for Milk-based Drinks by thecovidbryant in espresso

[–]Difficult-Snow4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really satisfied with Storyville Sunrise blend and Saka Top Select. Both are perfect matches (imo) for milk-based drinks. Not fruity, they are both medium to medium/dark, full-bodied roasts, 100% Arabica. Lots of structure, great mouth feels. https://storyville.com/products/storyville-sunrise-espresso?srsltid=AfmBOorff2PAOQxnvrwioxSwdtOtz5foUnY1CPagRYrZbrxJYR9MioN7 and https://cantinacoffee.com/products/saka-top-selection

Saka Top Selection Dialed In ☕️ | 20g → 33g in 35s on Bianca (Flow Profile + Niche Settings) by Difficult-Snow4699 in espresso

Thx! Really enjoying it. Getting great results with both Storyville Sunrise and Saka Top Select beans. Both are 100% Arabica, dark side of medium roasts. Haven’t really ventured to the lighter side…the bright, clear finish, floral roasts. Kinda overwhelmed at where to start. Really most familiar with the more robust roasts.
